GOING: N

Orion Security Protection Open Handicap 1009m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Several of these have terrific gate speed so the pressure will be on from the outset. A good race. SEYDOUX (4) has won his last three comfortably heavily bet. They stack right up and she tumbles in weight at this level. She races forward and can keep the ball rolling. Listed winner TURK WARRIOR (1) resumes and she's potent fresh and over this distance. Won his only start here and owns a recent trial win. Uses the low barrier and is a live chance. Listed winner ALPINE WOLF (2) resumes and is proven fresh and has won 3/3 this track/ distance. A hope as well. ARUMA (5) also resumes and the rails gate will advantage. Has won fresh and Newitt stays aboard. Has to be considered as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Seydoux with the race form and fitness.
